so happy for a flute topic thinger. i adore playing flute blaugh although, sometimes it is a bit annoying to hear 6 flutes all trying to tune those super high A's and G's. my ears gush a little bit of blood. but yeah, tis awesome. especially cause my band at school just played this amazing piece called Return to the Mountain, and the entire time flutes have the melody. it includes some really beautiful flute solos.

and to naiyuga: it depends. i didn't think it was that hard to learn. i think the hardest is making sure you can just get a sound on the thing.

The best kind of piccolo is a wooden gemeinhardt. NEVER get plastic. Get real wood.


I'm not considering getting a wood piccolo (at least right now) because the band I play in has presentations outside and I know that wooden piccolos can get ruined if played outside.

Flutes in my band always ruled the band.. (the most serious about the music and overall the best players)
Has anyone attempted to play a Jethro Tull piece on the flute?

It can be.
But, once you get your Embachure right, it'll get easier.
I took private lessons when I first started,
But then I was able to help the begginers at school, and it helped a lot to have a fingering chart, and a Circle of Fifths, with all your scales.
We used the Essential Elements books, for the first year.
But,
I say once you get through that,
Buy some other books and try to play some of the practice warm-up scale pieces.
You may think that the scales aren't that important, but they are...
Trust me.
It amuses me the people in band who don't know their scales and try to play a piece of music in a random minor that they've never even heard of before...
xD.
But, playing the flute is really fun.
I love it.
I feel really good when I play a piece right.
Oh, and warning: when you first start to learn, you might get light headed...
xD.
And blow down and accross at the same time.
xD.
That sounds difficult but once you get the hang of it, it's easy!
OH!
Check out YouTube!
Type in Flute playing or whatever, and see what you find.
It's amazing.
I also play Piccolo, and it's a bit differnent with the Embachure and all.
But both are fun.
Wish you luck!
(Sorry that I wrote so much... xD)

It depends on how well your Embachure adapts to playing the flute.
Do you play any other instruments?
That would probably help with learning, because a lot of it is already done.
All you really need to do is learn the fingering and the embachure.
The nyou play and get loads bettta.
